** Racism in Scotland: A memorial to British Indian Army soldiers who served in World Wars would help counter far-right’s hate – Dr Saqib Razzaq

There is no permanent memorial in the UK to the soldiers of the British Indian Army who fought for Britain in both world wars.

That is something that the charity Colourful Heritage is planning to change, with plans now well underway for a memorial in Glasgow to our forgotten soldiers.

More than four million of them fought alongside British troops in the 20th century conflicts, with many making the ultimate sacrifice.

Scotland has a special connection to the British Indian Army (BIA) through a Second World War regiment called Force K6.
